The Rochester RazorSharks were off to a rocky start with a record of 2 – 2. The RazorSharks are now fourth in their division and were looking to change things up. The RazorSharks organization decided to relieve Head Coach Chris Daleo of his duties and Associate Coach Chris Iversen took his place as the new head coach, effective immediately.

“We want to thank Chris Daleo for his time and dedication to the RazorSharks organization,” Dr. Hrywnak stated “but at this time we feel a change is needed to get the team back on track.” After going undefeated in the 2015 season the Razorsharks have their backs against the wall in 2016, but nothing will deter them from having another winning season.

The RazorSharks first contest under Interim Head Coach Chris Iversen resulted in a dominant 35 point victory over the Chautauqua Hurricane. Coach Iversen has already made major roster changes including the release of Aaron Weaver and the return of former 'Shark James Helton.

Rochester also announced the signing of Raheem Singleton to replace the Kyle Randall who was released recently due to personal family reasons.
